    Yeah, it's a gamble but at 450 lids...

    Some young lad will likely sell that on for 2-4k after it is modified. Extremely sought after by people in their early 20's.. Even with 200k miles! no joke!!

    Miles are easily scrubbed.

    Tidy looking Nissan Cube with NCT in the right colour for bangernomics money. If the CVT is working ok, this would be a darling. If it was in Munster, I'd be on it....

    Such a unique stand out car. I see one near me in town every so often. Certainly would not have a problem finding it in the car park.

    Beautiful car. If it is still around after all these years then more than likely any problems it has had have been sorted. There were some of that generation too that had mo problems at all and were well made.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    That laguna is advertised with 160k km, the NCT cert says 189k km and the car is showing 189k miles.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,360 ✭✭✭iwillhtfu


    Eyes wide open with cars around that area,

    Brother is 22 and paid 4k for insurance on one. So it's possible for them to get insured..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,856 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    Lads, it's a €450 car with 8 months NCT. Obviously would need to be given the once over by someone who knows what to look out for but at this end of the market if it drives straight, stops, isn't overheating or has any liquids leaking out of it then it's cheap motoring imo.

    It's a renault so lets not be getting overly excited about the price either.

    Renault are more reliable than VW/Audi these days

    Not the Mark 2 version though. They were shocking.

    For a TDi, that mad. Has he any NCB or is it his first car. As I paid around that if not more on my first and even second car. But I did have a provisional licence though not from failing the test or anything I just drove around with the provisional as you were able to do that back then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 268 ✭✭E36Ross

    Apparently not when there's 190k miles on that one.

    Could you imagine the costs involved, any I ever drove or seen were giving huge issues.
    Mostly electronic.

    One day had one battery was dead so had battery pack on it, had the key in pocket, it wasn't keyless start and came back out later the car was running.... It started itself....

    Lol. I think you are looking at the wrong type of cars for that.

    It was actually one of the most technological advanced cars of it's time when it came out especially compared to the crappy Mondeo that was out at the same time.
    Of course the fact a lot of that technology had not been probarly tested was part of its downfall unfortunatly.

    Renault were always mad for tech that didn't work, early 80s R9/11 with central locking, electric windows and electric sunroof, they always calved when the window/roof was open,

    Thankfully they have learnt from this the hard way but they learnt and now make some of the best most reliable cars you can buy.

    It survived this long so that's a good sign. As I said originally it's a gamble but it's dirt cheap and even if it blows up 2 months down the road it's only cost you 450 and you will still get about 80 back for scrap. Your average newer car loses more than that in depreciation each month. There are no certainties with a 450 car.

    Soulless though, Renault 18 was a pretty car in its day, the 5Turbo was mad fun and the Renault 4 was quirky and unbelievably useful, same would apply to PSA new French stuff does nothing for me

    He's on a learner permit (which is an extreme example too). His friends who have a year or 2 NCB don't find insurance that bad at all. From what he says..
